Tender his whisper and sweet his caress,
Flattered and pleased was she,

Close to his breast she was fondly pressed,
Kissed once by his laughing mouth;

While the wind went whistling south.

Grant to give anything more, she would
almost dread appearing before the world
which appreciated her and of which none OF
the men would have been likely to have
treated her in such way.
Mr.. Wilson Barrett told me funny STORY
about the Garmoyle complications. He was
visiting at Mrs. Mackay's, and just before
dinner Mrs. Potter presented him to a
charming young woman. The speaking of
the names was in the usually unintelligible
fashion, and Mr.. Barrett was forced to address
the young woman as miss" and after this
made kind of gurgling sound in his throat.
In some way or other Miss Fortescue's
coming to America was discussed, and Mr.
Barrett said that as she would undoubtedly
make capital of her broken engagement
with Lord Garmoyle he thought it only fair
that she should share the profits with Miss
Beach Grant.
The pretty young woman laughed very
heartily and agreed with him, but seeing that
Mrs. Potter looked very nervous, Mr.. Bar
rett thought perhaps she wanted to say
something to him, and SO made an oppor
tunity, when she told him, to his horror,

Beach Grant, the American beauty and the
fiancee of Garmoyle. Mr.. Barrett said that
he hoped it would be lesson to Mrs. Brown
Potter to pronounce people names in future
so that they could be heard. However, Mis-
Grant was amiable, and knowing that Mr.
Barrett never did anything that was moi
polite, thought nothing of the contretemps
and made charming neighbor at the Dime,
which followed.
The failures of Mrs. Brown Potter do not
seem to damp her ardor, and convince one
that she has the sublime conceit of which
those who knew her well were always certain,
she possessed. It may carry her through
here. but as general thing it is scarcely
successful for any great length of time. The
world bowed to the conceits of Disraeli, Lord
Byron, Cessr and Napoleon, but it is hardly
likely to do the same to Mrs. Brown Potter

fierce winds came rushing down the noun
tain side she knew the trees would bend their
tall heads together and Irvine their strong
arms around her home, until robbed of his
victim the bafled storm rushed by.
When morning broke the same friends
stood erect and stately, drawing aside their
leaves and branches that the sunbeams
might not linger IN their soft embraces, but
haste down to waken their favorite, Marie.
Very lovely was our little Swiss maid,
with violet eyes that now danced and
sparkled and then grew soft and tender as a
little child's. Two rose-red lips shut in her
pearly teeth, and when she smiled tiny
dimple danced for moment on her peachy
cheek. Her hair chung in caressing curls
around her low white forehead, and fell in
ripples of golden sunshine far below her
slender waist. And her voice! All! that
was Marie's greatest charm. Soft and clear,
not a discordant note marred its sweet. pure
harmony. Sometimes as she sang at her
evening devotions the herdsmen far below
in the valley, catching faint notes of her
song, looked up and crossed themselves,
half believing they heard the echo of an
angel choir.
But very few knew of Marie's beauty, Tor
when she went with her mother on one of
her rare visits to the hamlet below she
brushed her wavy hair straight and smooth
back from her forehead, and braided it in
long stiff plaits which fell down her back.
Her eyelids, with their curtains of long silky
lashes, dropped over her dancing eyes until
one looked in vain for glimpse of their
beauty. Her red lips shut firmly over her
pearly teeth, while the dimple hid itself reso-
lutely away from sight. And her sweet
voice, frightened at its own sound SO far
from home, grew faint and husky until in
this shrinking, sober damsel, walking so
timidly beside the widow Neur, you would
have found it hard to recognize the beauti-
full Marie of the mountain.
So it happened that only her mother and
one other person knew how good and sweet
and how fair Marie was.
This other was stranger who came from

eyes, and laugh as frank as child's, he was
the favorite of the canton, and there was not
girl within its bounds who would not have
been proud to plight her troth with him.
Gustavus, however, cared little for the Obga-
din maidens. He would far rather chase the
channels up the mountain side, or guide trav-
elers through its dangerous passes, than
spend his time with the finest of the maids
of the hamlet.
His mother often said "My son, when
wilt thou bring me home daughter and
thyself wife?"
And Gustavus, smiling and pressing kiss
on her forehead, would answer:
when / find maid as good as thou,
mother; but want no idle, shrill-voiced
wife to disturb our quiet home"
But one day his mother said more sadly
and seriously than ever before:
'Gustavus, am growing old and feeble
can no longer make and mend thy clothes
and keep our home. Thou must have
wife. Promise me at the fete next week
thou wilt choose one from among the
maidens there"
Gustavus reluctantly gave her the desired
PROMISE but it weighed heavily upon him
He could think of nothing else afterward,
and the more he pondered the heavier his
heart grew. At last he seized his gun and
went out on the mountain, but the perplex-
ing questions followed him until in despair
he threw himself on the ground, groaning:
"Oh, that some wise man would make
this choice for me!''
A moment after he looked up and saw, as
if in answer to his wish, the wizard ap-
preaching him. why" he exclaimed to
himself, did not think of him before?
Surely he, if any one, can help me. Then,
with athrobbing heart, Gustavus sprang up
and advanced to meet him. The wizard
greeted Gustavus warmly, for he felt strong
friendship for the young guide who had
taken him safely through many dangerous
mountain excursion.
And now his sympathetic question, "Why,
what's troubling you, my boy?" opened
the way for Gustavus to pour out all his per-
plexity, ending his recital with the question,
sCanst thou not help me choose good wife,
who will make my life happy, from the
maidens at the fete next week?'
The wizard smiled alphabetically, and
then thought in silence little while before
he answered:
"Ifa pure, true heart is united to true,
pure heart, both lives must be happy. There
will be one such heart at the fete, but you
may fail to recognize it. However if you
will come to me tomorrow will give you a
charm that will show you this heart"
Here was comfort indeed, and with light
heart Gustavus thanked his friend and
bounded forward. Left alone the wizard
continued down the mountain side until he
came in sight of the widow Neur's chalet,
where he found Marie sitting by the spring.
Instead of her usual sunshiny smile, tiny
teardrops stood in her eyes, and there was
grieved look about her rosy lips that made
him wish to comfort her.
"What is the matter, little one?" he asked,
gently.
s'Oh, sir" she said, II want to see the
great fete next week, but / have no pretty
ornaments to wear, and then" The long

q far-away country and spent his summers
in little house on the mountains very
top. The simple villagers called him ''the
wizard" and told strange tales of how he
spent whole nights gazing at the heavens
through long tube; that he could foretell
to an hour when the sun would cover itself
with darkness but strangest of all he had a
little wire stretched for miles over hills and
valleys to the great city. This wire talked
to him in queer language which no one
else could understand. "Tick, tick. tickety
tick, it said and told him things that hap
pened miles and miles away.
Marie did not know how wise the wizard
was when he came to her home one morning
and asked for a drink of water. He fol-
lowed her to the spring when she went for it,
and stopped by the way to break open a Gu
rious stone. He showed Marie how queerly
marked it was inside and then told her a
story about it. The usually timid maiden
was so interested she forgot to be frightened
and thus strong friendship between the two
was begun.
After this the wizard often came to the
widows chalet for rest and refreshment on
his long rambles and Marie unconsciously
revealed her charms to him one by ole un-
til long before the first summer was ended
the stranger knew that no girl in all the cam
ton could be compared with Marie.
On the other side of the mountain from
the widow Neurs home lived another widow
She, too had but one child, a son who was
the pride and delight of her life, the young
hunter and guide, Gustavus Friel.
Every one knew and liked Gustavus. Tall,
straight and handsome. with flashing brown
